Vice-Admiral Sir John Webster

The professional painter Sir John Webster spent 40 years in the Royal Navy, retiring 25 years ago. He says: “Since then I’ve been painting professionally with one- man exhibitions in London about every two years.” About birthdays he says “I’m quite keen on them, people are always nice to you and give you presents. I shall be speaking to my two daughters, one in London, the other in Australia. Important to mark these events; you can’t forget how old you are however hard you try.” Rgt
